Cheese on chicken? Well, that's a no-brainer, a dinner the entire family will love. (It's mostly about the cheese). But we're giving that no-brainer a bit of an extra umph with some tangy enchilada sauce and a dollop of sour cream. Is this taking the dinner love to new levels? We'll let them think it was you who came up with it.

If using sirloin steaks, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 1, 2, and 4, searing until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
